Original Abstract

All electrical systems are susceptible to short circuits and the abnormal current levels they create. These currents can produce considerable thermal and mechanical stresses in electrical distribution equipment. Because increase of power consumption results in growth short-circuit current. Therefore, it's important to protect personnel and equipment by calculating short-circuit currents during system upgrade and design. Distribution equipment, such as circuit breakers, fuse and switchgear, have interrupting or withstand ratings defined as the maximum rms values of symmetrical current.
